8 miles in 1:01:25, 7:41/mi, HR 153.  Last Tuesday's scheduled run today.  Late barn Xmas party last night had me up late and eating poorly, so the fact that today's run went without too much extra effort was nice.

8 miles in 1:00:02, 7:30/mi, HR 155.  A good slightly faster paced easy run that other recent runs, but I didn't feel like I was pushing.  Cool (37F) and some flurries but some sun must've energized my legs.

4 treadmill miles in 30:26, 7:36/mi, HR 155.  Snowed again this afternoon so stuck with the treadmill tonite.  Not bad for treadmill miles.

8 miles in 1:00:55, 7:37/mi, HR 152.  Cool (36F) but some sunbreaks.  Snow and slush on the roads but enough traction that it didn't matter much today.  Hopefully, it'll melt by Thursday.

9 miles in 1:07:58, 7:33/mi, HR 152.  Cool (34F) & snowing.  Slippery snow-covered & slushy roads for the middle half of the run.  

A late gift that UPS was supposed to delivery on 12/19 finally made it today.  I discovered that the company I bought it from (Backcountry.com) sent it UPS Ground while charging me for 2-day delivery as I'd requested.  The deception is made worse by the fact that their agent told me on the phone a few days ago that UPS had "screwed up" the shipment and that they had sent it 2-day, but the original label on the item doesn't lie...it's not UPS's fault.  They did refund my shipping costs, but the deception is a bit more than I can take so they're off the "buy-from" list unless something changes and they manage to write me a convincing apology to the pointed email I just sent them.  Mistakes I can handle, but intentionally deceptive business practices is another.

2 mile treadmill warmup in 17:31.  5 Steady State treadmill miles in ~ 35 minutes, HR ~173.

Yesterday's scheduled workout today on the treadmill after getting 8 more inches of snow dumped overnight.  Just not feeling it today, and only managed 5 Steady State miles or so with a couple of 15-20 second breaks to get the HR back down.  Decided to pack it in when the effort to keep a 7/min pace was way too high today.  Glad the holidays are now really over....maybe I can actually get back on a consistent schedule.

18 miles in 2:25:57, 8:06/mi, HR 147.  A mix of packed snow & ice, slush, and a few bare spots on the roads today, so did my best to ignore pace and focus on effort.  Easy first half, moderate second.  Interrupted at 14.5 to help free a stuck driver from the snowbank he managed to find when he tried to turn around.  Left leg ITB and quad were bugging me most of the second half, so some definite stretching to follow.
